Just watched this on youtube. Always heard about this bit, but didn't really know how brilliant it was until I actually saw it.
It's a short bit called Trigger's Broom.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAh8HryVaeY



It's only a minute twenty seconds long. Click on the youtube link and give it a watch. Only British comedy can take some little thing about a broom and turn it into one of the best comedy bits ever. Don't know who any of the actors are, don't know what show it is...I just know it's pretty damn great.

I was just about the post the same thing!  Excellent documentary.  And, yes, what a terrible mess the cops made of this one.  It's easy to put down the Police for getting things wrong but (as regards to the hoax thing) such an idiotic and catastrophic mistake that directly led to a few more women getting murdered...   :-[

Well worth a watch.

And, yes, the awesome 'Line Of Duty' is back for a fifth series, just watched the first episode and I see no reason to revise my opinion of this superb show, cracker of a first episode... trailer below...

NO SPOILERS, but to be honest, I figured out the big end twist quite early on (not because I'm terribly clever but because this show has so many twists in it that I'm always looking for them!  ;) )

Anyone else here fans of LOD?  Again, no spoilers, if you post a spoiler then I say 'MOTHER OF GOD!'   ;D

The Thing. The original version. SFX are a bit dated but its still a good movie.
Hala (from the Anglo-Saxon word "halh", meaning nook or remote valley), until it was gifted by King Henry II to Welsh Prince David Owen and became known as Halas Owen

Er, do you mean 'The Thing From Another World' (1951)?  The ORIGINAL version of 'The Thing'?

Yours sincerely, That Movie Captain Pedantic.   ;)

"A good movie." Boy, that takes the prize for the biggest understatement ever uttered.

THE THING is one of the greatest films ever made (and that's another understatement).
THE THING is epochal!

Just curious, are you Euros aware of the 2019 HBO film called BREXIT starring Benedict Cumberbatch? I watched it, thought it was pretty good, but I am really unaware of how accurate it is.

Glad it's not just me that thought that!  I think it's the lack of Jennie in it... Susannah Fielding was brilliant in it, each episode she was in was worth watching a second time and focusing on her reactions to what Alan said, a masterpiece of subtle acting...

I hope there's another series, but after the off-camera dialogue during the end credits, I suspect Alan is going to get sacked from the BBC again...   ???
